James C. Haile. 



* Joseph Carpenter and Caleb Carman entered into an agreement with the town, whereby they 

 were permitted to use timber from the common lands, " except clapboard and' rayle trees under 

 eighteen inches," and were to saw for the town " twelve pens in the hundred cheaper than any other 

 person of any other town; " and for citizens of the town "that bringeth the timber, one halfe of the 

 sawn stuff for their laboure, provided that it is only for their owne use." 



f For building this mill the town granted to Townsend, and his heirs forever, the right to cut and 

 use timber from any part of the town he should choose; also, the right to sell such timber, either in 

 the town or out of it.
